The new ALEXA XT replaces all other previous ALEXA models, with the exception of the original ALEXA. The new ALEXA XT, ALEXA XT M, ALEXA XT Plus, and ALEXA XT Studio cameras now come standard with the new XR Module, a side panel that was co-developed with
Codex and that replaces the previous SxS Module, allowing in-camera
ARRIRAW recording up to 120 fps onto exceptionally fast and rugged 512
GB XR Capture Drives. It makes the ALEXA XT smaller, lighter and
more affordable, while simplifying setup and operation
while avoiding unnecessary cabling, resulting in an even faster and
more reliable workflow on set.

In addition to ARRIRAW, ProRes or DNxHD can also be captured to the XR
Capture Drive for significantly longer recording times as well as ProRes
4444 recording at 120 fps. With an SxS Adapter it is possible to record
ProRes or DNxHD to a single SxS PRO card.

Once removed from the
camera, the XR Capture Drive offers a number of different paths into
post, using the proven Codex workflow. One option is using a small and affordable
USB3 Single Dock to allow quick and safe copying of data onto a laptop. Or, a second option is using the Dual Dock to make clones of XR Capture Drives, then connect
to a Mac Pro via a high speed SAS interface for speedy copying,
archiving or dailies creation. And lastly, the Codex Vault is a modular
and rugged all-in-one solution for fast and easy copying, archiving,
reporting or dailies creation on or near-set.

Each of the ALEXA XT models is equipped with a 4:3 image sensor, the
same size and shape as a 35mm film frame, which is crucial for the
effective use of anamorphic lenses, delivering a unique and cinematic
widescreen look that can trace its origins back to the CinemaScope
films of the 1950s. It is a look that has long been appreciated by
cinematographers, directors and the viewing public alike. An anamorphic
de-squeeze license is included with all XT cameras, as is a high speed
license for filming at up to 120 fps. The 4:3 sensor will also be useful
on non-anamorphic productions as it permits significant reframing of
the image in post, similar to shooting 4-perforation 35mm.

Lens metadata is invaluable for a speedy VFX post workflow, which is why
all ALEXA XT models are equipped with an LDS lens mount. The Arri Lens
Data System (LDS) reads the position of all lens rings and writes them
into metadata in every format ALEXA can record. Over 41 lens models have
LDS built-in, including the Arri/Zeiss Master Anamorphics, Arri/Zeiss
Master Primes, Arri/Zeiss Master Macro 100, Arri/Zeiss LDS Ultra Primes,
Arri/Zeiss Master Zoom 16.5-110, Arri/Fujinon Alura Lightweight Zoom
15.5-45 and Arri/Fujinon Alura Lightweight Zoom 30-80. For all other
lenses it is possible to store the lens table inside the ALEXA by using
the Lens Data Archive feature.
